Showhouse-Brad Ford

This week I noticed a talented designer's room
in a showhouse. Showhouses feature a designer
assigned to install each room with the proceeds from
the entry fee going to charity.

The showhouse was in the Hamptons . The room
I noted was a covered porch. The designer's name
is Brad Ford. He had 2 interesting concepts for the room.
Referencing screened porches from his childhood he
installed 2 sofas hanging from wires to represent
swings. Then to represent wind chimes he had an artist
create 800-1,000 porcelain windchimes in the room
hanging from twine.

Lastly he kept to a neutral colour scheme,
installed a simple jute rug, wooden side tables
and a photograph of an African warrior.

It was a very striking installation.

To see the work go to

and see the posting for Tuesday, July 28th.

Hope you look this one up.

Have a day-full-of-kindness sort of day.

Helen.
